La chanson raconte l’histoire tragique d’un homme accusé à tort, Hiram Hubbard, qui se retrouve dans une situation désespérée. Malmené et emmené de force à travers les montagnes, il supplie pour pouvoir rédiger son testament. Finalement, il est capturé, emprisonné et abattu froidement, illustrant l'injustice et la brutalité d'un système qui ne laisse aucune chance à ceux qui sont victimes de rumeurs ou d'accusations infondées. Le contexte semble ancré dans une époque où la justice pouvait être expéditive et où les droits des individus n'étaient pas toujours respectés. Cette chanson évoque les luttes contre la violence et la désinvolte envers la vie humaine, offrant un aperçu poignant des souffrances endurées par ceux qui sont injustement persécutés.
